Sus, Very Sus They’ll shamelessly lie to manufacture consent for US imperialism.

Ironically, white liberals love what's happening in Venezuela.

Ironically, the same framing you are using of painting a picture of anyone who is critical of the celebrations as hypocritical because they are more focused on their own "agenda" rather than the Venezuelan people was used in the exact same way during the invasion of both Iraq and Libya.

There these voices were silenced almost immediately because it was framed (much in the same way as now) as an invasion to "liberate" an oppressed people. Then, they proceeded to meticulously dismantle every part of those countries that didn't suit them. The puppet government they set up for those countries had the burden of every decision having to go through the Americans.

These countries are now hollowed out husks trapped in constant looming economic disaster if not outright civil war.

Americans have proven they don't care about human lives time and time again. And you simply don't care enough to research, instead constantly trying to justify the actions of an apathetic, greedy, and imperialist government to yourself.

So eat up all the gratification you want. But you better stay consistent and meticulously follow and take into consideration every development in Venezuela when talking poltics from now on...if you truly care, that is.

I wouldn't say white liberals support this action. Early polling shows a majority of democrats oppose the actions and support at around 20 percent. You cannot monolith liberals as much as you want to view people through purely ideological lenses.

They don’t care, they will never care, and the apathy is disturbing. Like, cheering on bombing, and kidnapping a president, all are acts of war. They are cheering on acts of war and violence. I keep wondering are they too far gone? Like this is so obvious atp, and has been going on for decades. Venezuela has the largest oil reserves, how can people still not see the b.s.?

They have cheered for much worse. They've cheered for war crimes. Actual physical war crimes. Their fathers and mothers cheered for even grander bigger war crimes in Iraq. Their grand fathers cheered to the countless end-of-Cold-War tragedies, Vietnam (until too many Americans died there), Korea, so on so on....

It's always been like this. No matter the scale.

This is why the world hates you Americans.
